An Oriental Wedding
Miss Thieg of Douma al Batroun, Married to Geo. Abraham
At the church of the Intercession this afternoon at half-past one o’clock George Abraham and Thieg, daughter of Abdella Moses, were united in marriage. The bride and groom are natives of Syria, both having been born in or near the little village of Douma al Batroun, nestling among the tropical glories of the Lebanon Mountains. The groom is well known in this city, having conducted a fruit and vegetable store here for two or three years past. The bride came more recently from Syria and reached Stevens Point a few days since from LaCrosse. They, like many others of their countrymen, were driven from their native land by the tyranny of “the unspeakable Turk.” We wish them prosperity and happiness in their married life.
The event was evidently regarded as a very important ones in Syrian circles, a number of the twenty or more guests present having come from different parts of the state. A feature of the ceremony was that each person carried a candle which they lighted on entering the church and held in there hands as they stood in the pews during the service. Other than this the ceremony was that of the Episcopal church. At the close of the service the candles were presented to the Rector.

Romantic Marriage
There was a marriage last Sunday afternoon, that savors somewhat of romance. Frank Lillie secured a two seated carriage and drove to the home of Daniel Bennett, on S. Third St., where Miss Ella F. Murphy had been making her home with her sister. Soon that young lady was seated in the vehicle, as was also her sister, Miss Alice Murphy. They then drove around on Clark St. and asked Miss Kate Welch to accompany them for a drive, which invitation was readily accepted, the weather being delightful and the dust of the previous two weeks having been effectually laid by the heavy rains of the night before.
A drive to Plover would be over a good road, and when suggested to the last named young lady she agreed it would be just the proper thing. Things went merrily on and when Plover was reached, Frank drove at once to the residence of Rev. Ira S. Eldredge, the Methodist clergyman, where all alighted and entered.
Miss Welch had entertained a faint suspicious for a little while that the drive was an unusual one, but now she was thoroughly convinced. It did not take long for the reverend gentleman to pronounce the solemn words that bound Mr. Lillie and Miss Ella Murphy, "for better or for worse," and the quartette then drove back to the city. The bride's sister had been let into the secret, but Miss Welch is still a little mystified as to just how it happened.
The groom is a resident of Wausau, where he was born and raised, but has made this city his headquarters during the past three years, looking after the lumber interests of Silverthorn & Anderson of Wausau. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Murphy of the North Side, a graduate of our High School, class of '83, and for several years has been engaged as clerk in the bakery of her brother-in-law, Daniel Bennett. Both have many friends whose well wishes will follow them. After a brief wedding tour to Milwaukee and Chicago, they will make their future home at Wausau.Rice - Warren
